Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.

You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.

What is this endpoint?

Readiness Probe Endpoint

What an attacker could do

A readiness probe endpoint can reveal whether backend dependencies like databases or caches are connected, giving attackers insight into infrastructure topology and timing for outage-based attacks.

How to defend it

Expose readiness probes only on the internal orchestration network (e.g., Kubernetes), keep responses minimal, and ensure they are unreachable from public ingress.
